Pros

This company is ok to work for. They provide really good benefits and depending on your position, you have a good bit of autonomy to get your work done. They generally support people with families and a work-life balance.

Cons

Don't expect a great company culture. There is an atmosphere of blame on other departments for shortcomings, technology is a little behind, and there isn't much room for creativity and innovation. Getting something done requires a lot of navigation through red tape and begrudging colleagues.

Pros

Peers were kind, supportive, and friendly. Ok compensation.

Cons

Leadership was constantly changing and bringing in new employees to fix issues that wouldn't be fixed by them; the company's strategy wasn't on point. Slow promotions and career development/advancement.
